how to make grape leaves

Ingredients: 2 jars of Orlando Grape Leaves - rinsed 2 beaf shanks 2 lbs ground round or beef 90/10 or 85/15 3 cups long grain rice 5 large lemons and/or concentrated lemon juice 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper Make meat, rice, salt, pepper and lemon mixture in a medium size bowl. In a pot place the beef shanks on the bottom. Roll the grape leaves with meat and rice mixture (about one teaspoon or so per leaf) firmly and tightly. Place in pot in a circular or nice arrangement. Put salt and lemon juice on top of the rolled grape leaves. Add hot water to top off the leaves. Place on a medium to high boil to start for 10 minutes. Lower stove to medium to low for 1 to 1 1/2 hour. Place a plate on top of the grape leaves to keep them from being boiled to hard. Remove the plate once the pot is on a medium to low temperature and the leaves are gently boiling. Let the pot cool down 30 to 40 minutes before serving. Enjoy your grape leaves.
